Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Wick at 4.2 against CollegeCal's 3.0. Wick also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (74 vs 10). CollegeCal's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 8 days) and review sentiment (75% vs 63%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wick sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and CollegeCal sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Wick holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wick has 74 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Wick's written reviews are positive against 75% of CollegeCal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Wick ships an update every 8 days, CollegeCal every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
